Soundgarden - Mailman (live 1996)

[@BoxCarBoy12]

If Slaves and Bulldozers is the yelling and screaming type of anger, then Mailman is the simmering, spiteful, silent type of anger. Soundgarden is brilliant!

[@DJdext]

yes. I loved this tune since the first time u heard this on cassette.

[@yeahmylo]

Soundtallica in Chains ur a combo master

[@jamesmashburn9947]

Very true

[@ThomasJ502]

Soundtallica in Chains slaves is anger Mailman is hatred

[@nicolasriveros943]

Pretty much that's how you define the general sound of Badmotorfinger and SuperUnknown

[@timtesch9417]

This song is so heavy , dark and magnificent.

[@TheImmortalCheneys]

amen.

[@chrislj2005]

Fuck yeah

[@soundzrinmygarden3833]

Definitely, Gun is nice and dark as well. Such powerful songs. A great band, timeless.

[@DamianDomench]

Nice song, identity own and style unique of soundgarden.

[@Vor_Tex_Sun]

Yeah and it's about your boss

[@ChipmunkAsylum]

Soundgarden is never listed as a great metal band in any magazine or article, yet they somehow drop some of the best and heaviest goddamn songs the world ever seen

[@adeliahogarth2407]

+ChipmunkAsylum Their fans know this!

[@premocheba391]

+ChipmunkAsylum that's because they aren't metal

[@adeliahogarth2407]

+premo cheba How or what does one define Metal as? Opinions may vary on this.

[@premocheba391]

must more baritone and faster rhythm suck as old metalica or type o negative or some but not all black label society whick I would consider on the lower end of metal. however I thing chris cornell is to good of a singer to be considered metal.

[@adeliahogarth2407]

+premo cheba Generally speaking Soundgarden often emphasise that they consider themselves as hard rock or alternative rock. But if you watch the Grammy ceremony at the time when they received their recognition Chris said to the audience "we are a metal band ..." Personally I enjoy the band's music and Chris' voice so much that it doesn't matter to me one way or the other. However many fans do consider them metal, so I leave it at that!

[@pepperellie]

Doesn't miss a fucking note. Most amazing version of one of the most amazing songs ever. So underestimated. Chris you'll be missed forever. 💔

[@lisaparsons4124]

Yes I agree Chris Cornell a awesome singer sad he passed may Chris Cornell RIP 💐

[@golos9]

Rip to a legend.... Chris Cornell was a brilliant songwriter.

[@Hugh_G_Rekshun69]

This is easily the best version of Mailman.

[@halghent1313]

Oh hell yeah! They perfected it here!! The begrudging tone Chris had taken accentuated with the perfect delivery at the end of each line really brought the song out in a brand new light! This take, should've made the album cut.

[@kabboud]

I agree my man! Best version and one of the best SG songs filled with all the rage, odd time signatures and toxic riffs that these boys have always produced. Gonna miss seeing them live!

[@Solid3d-Melb]

Naaah

[@Metalllians86]

just listened to this album from start to finish...i've gotta say i like every song in it....i know, where the fuck i've been...what a powerful album...

[@NARKISDUDE]

better late than never. now I recommend you to go back to 92' than 90' etc. after you listen to beyond the wheel tell live me what u think.

[@RussoC13]

this is by far their best album from top to bottom.. i began listening to this album when i was 12 years old and i still listen to it to this day, and im not 24 years old.. its an epic experience

[@cebrinpitts]

It's in my top 5 ever.

[@mikeyj990ify]

Its a rare perfect record to me. Aic dirt is too

[@jasonwaynesummers]

I still say that the 90's gave us the greatest music, hands down.

[@lisaparsons4124]

Yes I agree love the 90s sound Garden a awesome group and Chris Cornell a awesome singer

[@scottkent7134]

R.I.P CHRIS, ONE OF THE BEST VOCALIST OF ALL TIME

[@No1Zero]

Chris's facial expressions in this video are so damn sexy. Doesn't hurt that he's got those amazing vocals either

[@sassisosexy]

No1 Zero yes!

[@JSmith2501]

'Hello don't you know me I'm the dirt beneath your feet The most important fool you forgot to see...'

"This song is about killing your boss" - Chris Cornell~Aug 1996

[@mommyof3_908]

Juiceky nah. It's about a fucking smoking hot, sexy 21 year old Virgin getting ready to take a big ass cock for this first time. But this is just what my perverted, bisexual mind chooses to believe.

[@tyleranders2331]

Amy Lynn uhh yo what

[@Dororostan]

@@mommyof3_908 To me is a man accepting his destiny to go to bottom riding the one or the thing that haunted him with him. Your opinion probably comes from the "riding you all the way" part i guess lol i laughed my ass off

[@ScumBagInFL]

@@mommyof3_908 thirstposting in the soundgarden comments, I've seen it all now

[@nickvareymusic]

I prefer this to the original! Never thought I'd say that.

[@mommyof3_908]

Nick Varey listen to some early, live, aic...and soundgarden for that matter. You'll say that a lot.

[@markgarcia3889]

Amy Lynn I couldn't agree any more

[@lous8619]

@@mommyof3_908 Alice in Chains at Bumbershoot 1990 is one of those shows were every song blows away the original!

[@noemiaperez9868]

This song is so visceral, with Chris’s powerful voice sweeping through me like thunder and lightning. Gives me chills every time.

[@lisaparsons4124]

Yes I agree Chris Cornell a awesome singer powerful voice so sad he passed may Chris Cornell RIP 💐

[@ETBlair]

He sings this song with so much passion.

[@leonecrociato91]

This Mailman is Stoner rock with Limo Wreck,4th July and Like suicide and perhaps The Day I Tried To Live

[@sassisosexy]

dragocrociato91 Hell yeah

[@sonictitan5604]

4th of july is stoner doom /sludge, way heavier than stoner rock

[@my2cents2u]

WTF!!!!!!!!! Can hardly type through the tears. My favorite rock voice ever, has been silenced forever. RIP Chris. Your music will live on in my heart forever. Devastated.

[@jayteebee2041]

Chris has always been an excellent vocalist and part of why SG and AICs appeal to me is their mix of styles into such uniqueness. I hate it when people try to put things in genres and especially subgenres and sub-sub genres.

[@TheImmortalCheneys]

Rest in Peace, Chris. Thank you for everything.

[@Yo_its_pip]

RIP Chris, thank you for the music brother...

[@RossMonster]

Look at the emotion he sings with in his face. Undeniable, you cannot fake that.

[@josephperdon375]

Slow and HEAVY

[@chrissimpson6701]

Greatness was born today! Happy Birthday Chris, miss you. 7.20.23

[@lisaparsons4124]

Chris Cornell awesome Singer and a awesome group.

[@heatherzettlemoyer2412]

Kym is a true guitar god!

[@jodysoldman]

I remember taking a few puffs off the one hitter, getting a garden hose, a sponge and a bucket of soapy water to wash my 69 VW Bug, throwing on this cd at high volume and, really, nothing was ever the same

[@MPierre1987]

Rest in Power Chris, you'll truly be missed!

[@c.d.9035]

This song, everything about it. Crazy time signature that the drum and bass keep plugging, scary lyrics you can feel in your gut, that slow beat. Smacks your ears. "No one sings like you anymore."

[@Boabywankenobi]

This isn't breaking up, this is rubbing her face in it. One of my fav SG songs.

[@latonaowens8019]

This song helped me make it through so much adversity. Thank you so much Chris for sharing your gifts with this world. See you on the other side

[@hectumbaby]

matt cameron is the real force and power behind soundgarden, he even revitalized pearl jam when joined...who can say im currently the drummer of the 2 best bands of these times but matt!

[@williamedwards5215]

Chill bumps every time I hear this song! Love you, man!

[@DebNKY]

This song always spoke to me. Brilliant.

They don't make em like they used to.

[@michaelkahn5272]

Great song. Never thought a tele could sound so heavy.

[@fmdesousa]

One off my favorite songs!

[@unixriver]

I have listened to this song a thousand times but each time feels like the very first.There is not another song with so much Power,Haunting,Pain,and beauty packed into 4minutes and 33 seconds

[@carlosbonella3609]

what an excellent version, it is the best one I've heard. R.I.P Chris.

[@admbrnk3665]

See you when I get there.

[@lipstick6637]

This song is very unique. Creepy and depressing and yet i say thank you soundgarden for taking the time to write this track

[@longhorn2615]

Haunting version, fantastic!

[@Spartahhh]

Cool Live !! This is my favorite song by Soundgarden

[@tonyhall3365]

This gave me a woody. This band was my fav out of Seattle. Such an eerie sound. Can't wait for the reunion tour.

[@Standstills1]

I grew up on this stuff, love it! It's groups like this that helped me make the choice to play music.

[@HonorinTreason]

Man do we miss Chris. Shedding a tear while we listen. Added to our November 2018 Music Playlist.

this one of my absolute fave songs. and to hear it performed so brilliantly is even bloody better!!!

[@artemis7114]

chamitox921: I 'was' born at this time; historical time for music - here's hoping you get yours too. Knowing how much you appreciate this pivotal era in music affirms for the rest of us how good it really was; seeing younger kids with nirvana shirts on these days puts a huge grin on my face because I know they get it and keep the music close to their heart where it's meant to reside.

[@EverythingGuests]

Wow. This sounds utterly epic. Like it's from a another word. A world where self hate, anger and detuned guitars ruled. Damn, I miss the 90's....

[@xmoondaughterx]

I don't understand how anyone could dislike this song/video. It's orgasmic.

[@RedRhodeIsland]

Wicked tune, one of my all-time favorites. Even better live.

[@matiash605]

holy crap!!!!! this is a powerful-kickass song!!!

[@malibumut]

Just close my eyes & let this sound surround me... How epic was this era?? Deep, dark,intense, just real Live music... Brings me back, BDO, far out.... Fucking all time... Superb. Thank God for You Tube for giving us the privilege of hearing all these all time so special bands again.... Such a excellent time in my life & I can relive it through this site... And how good is that!! :-) ps, and pass it all down to my sons... Brilliant.

[@TheSneakyHipster]

this is in my top 10 soundgarden songs for sure !

[@lorivig]

That has to be one of my all time favorite video clips

[@DJdext]

When this record came out this was the song that grabbed me. Listened to it like 30 tunes today. So good!!!!!!

[@flaviusaetiuspt]

This song has Matt Cameron written all over it, and I love it!

[@dankisch]

And these guys are back together! Can't believe it It's a proof good things happen all the time, so never lose hope :)

[@IDREAMOFJEANIE2]

I can so relate to these lyrics - Chris has come so far from that dark place and has helped me along mine.

[@rogerm1343]

Soundgarden is exactly what Led Zeppelin is, heavy, beautifully heavy.

[@nielsvisser3829]

To me more like Black Sabbath, highly influenced even, expecially songs like this one, but that's what I love so much, those ultra heavy slow guitar riffs upon those genius non-standard time signatures.

[@outlawcountryman]

this song speaks to me so much. one of the best songs ever. this video puts it at a whole new level... just wow......

[@ufgtr1992]

Great live version of an awesome, somewhat creepy, and underrated song. Soundgarden rules, and I'm so glad they got back together recently.

[@xavierdouglas-smith3682]

Rest in peace Chris, you beautiful man. This will always be one of my favourite performances of yours.
